Contributed by William D. Brown on Apr 1, 2014

The Bible does not give us a record about the ways in which the apostles died, other than James, -- We must rely on early church historians and secular historians as well, but both seem to be in agreement and both are concidered reliable.

Nothing Of Significance

Contributed by Bradley Boydston on Dec 23, 2002

Christmas Eve parable -- kind of silly and serious at the same time -- poking a little fun at my own Scandinavian heritage. From the beginning the trained observers have failed to recognize the significance of the Nativity.

The Middle East is a troubled place. And, really, this is nothing new. The land that we call Israel or Palestine has been characterized by instability for as long as we can remember. The players change but the game is the same. It’s all very complicated -- hinging on geographical and political ...read more

Girded Saints

Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 20, 2026

For a long time, many of us assumed that kind of readiness was faithfulness. If someone was energized, they must be ready. If ...read more
